.The Philadelphia 76ers reduced their magic number to 1 to clinch a playoff berth with a 109-106 overtime victory at Indiana on Saturday night.

Elton Brand scored 20 points and Lou Williams added 19 for the 76ers, who could clinch a playoff berth Saturday and eliminate Milwaukee if the Bucks lose to New Jersey.

Jrue Holiday added 17 points and seven assists for the 76ers, who play at New Jersey on Monday and at Milwaukee on Wednesday. If the Bucks win Saturday, the 76ers will have to wait until Monday to have a chance to clinch.
